0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Wasona.com is an educational website dedicated to teaching the constructed language Toki Pona through a structured, multi-part course. The site offers lessons, exercises, and community links, targeting language learners and enthusiasts interested in this niche language. The business model appears to be community-supported and open source, with content dual-licensed under Creative Commons and source code available on GitHub. The website is newly launched in 2024 and hosted on infrastructure associated with Amazon Registrar, Inc., likely AWS. Technically, the site uses modern static site generation technology (Astro v5.7.10), Google Fonts, and minimal JavaScript for theme toggling and analytics via GoatCounter. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible with good SEO practices. However, it lacks CMS and advanced hosting platforms, reflecting a lightweight, static content approach. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and professional DNS hosting but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security. No forms or sensitive data collection mechanisms are present, reducing attack surface. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Overall, the site is low risk with a focus on educational content and minimal tracking. Strategic recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance trust and compliance.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Wasona.com occupies a niche market in language education, specifically for Toki Pona learners. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a free, well-structured, and community-supported course with open source licensing, appealing to language enthusiasts and learners seeking accessible resources. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on educational outreach rather than revenue generation. The target audience is global but specialized, including linguists, hobbyists, and conlang communities. The partnership ecosystem includes related Toki Pona resources and community platforms such as Discord. Growth indicators are limited due to the site's recent launch and niche focus, but open source availability supports community contributions and sustainability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and professional DNS hosting. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents missed opportunities to harden the site against DNS spoofing and common web attacks. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and similar regulations, which could pose legal risks if user data collection expands. No forms or sensitive data collection reduces exposure to injection or data leakage vulnerabilities. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, limiting transparency and responsiveness to security issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to address GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Consider adding contact information or a dedicated security contact channel to improve trust and incident response.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Astro static site generator version 5.7.10, leveraging modern web standards and Google Fonts for typography. It uses minimal JavaScript for theme toggling and integrates GoatCounter for privacy-conscious analytics. Hosting is likely on AWS infrastructure given the Amazon Registrar and AWS DNS servers. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter cards. No CMS or dynamic backend detected, reducing complexity and attack surface. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC are technical gaps. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and efficient but could benefit from enhanced security configurations.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
